Hands up if you spend a lot of lesson time (maybe too much?) focussing on controlled assessments?
Yes, me too.
It's so tempting to get in to a routine with these types of lessons where the students come in and just get on with their controlled assessments lesson after lesson.
However, as we all know if we teach courses that also have an exam; learning and revising the theory is equally important.
Welcome the "theory builder".
Myself and a couple of my colleagues came up with the idea of putting together a collection of theory questions and short activities that can be used as starters, plenaries, home works etc. I have just started work on this and I am currently taking past paper questions from Exampro to use.
This helps build the theory at the same time as getting through your controlled assessments.
